Bronchiolitis is an infection of the small airways of the lungs known as bronchioles. It usually affects babies and is often caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Respiratory syncytial virus, known as RSV, is the most common cause of bronchiolitis. Almost all children will have had an infection caused by RSV by the time they are two years old. It is most common in the winter months. Usually it only causes mild ‘cold-like’ symptoms. Some children, especially very young ones, can have more severe symptoms and may need treatment in hospital. Sometimes other viruses can cause bronchiolitis. Symptoms of Bronchiolitis ➡️ Runny nose ➡️ Coughing ➡️ Fever ➡️ Wheezing ➡️ Difficulty breathing ➡️ Difficulty feeding Reassuringly most children get better within about two weeks but the cough can persist for up to 6 weeks. See the video by Dr Gemma Barnes (consulatant paediatrician at York Hospital) to learn more about bronchiolitis and RSV.
